Title A name given to the resource September 9: Scuole Painting Cycles Description An account of the resource Painted in 1495, Vittore Carpaccio's "Dream of Saint Ursula" is a part of his series depicting the tale of Saint Ursula, titled "Stories from the Life of Saint Ursula". "Dream of Saint Ursula" was Carpaccio's fifth painting out of a total of eight in the series, and continued his tendency to paint religious scenery. The legend of Saint Ursula from the north was very popular throughout the Middle Ages, and Carpaccio was commissioned by the Confraternity of Saint Ursula in Venice to tell her story. The legend describes Saint Ursula, a martyr who led 11,000 virgin maidens through travel, all of whom were brutally massacred by the Huns in Cologne. "The Dream of Saint Ursula" in particular depicts Saint Ursula in her bed, and is meant to show her dreaming of the angel who informs Saint Ursula of her impending death and martyrship. Carpaccio is widely praised for his close attention to detail, which he demonstrates magnificently in this painting, showing the room with beautiful ceilings, plants on the windows, a dog laying next to the bed, and the shadowy figures around the room that cast a mysterious and dreamy vibe throughout the painting.

Title A name given to the resource St. George and the Dragon Description An account of the resource The painting shows the first of the three episodes dedicated to St. George's life: the other two are the Triumph of St. George and the Baptism of the Selenites. The works date to Carpaccio's mature period when he was commissioned by the "Scuola" (guild or corporation) of the Schiavoni (Dalmatians) to execute a cycle of nine paintings narrating the stories of their patron saints (George, Jerome, Augustine, and Tryphon).  Vittore Carpaccio was one of Venice's leading narrative painters of the late 15th and early 16th centuries, whose richly detailed canvases relating the lives of saints once adorned the city's "scuole," or lay confraternities' meeting places. The story of George is directly inspired by the medieval hagiographical texts of the martyrs, especially by the Passions. The epic of the Holy Martyr on horseback in the act of defeating the dragon and saving the maiden, with the fortified town standing in the background, has been a recurring iconographic theme since ancient times. St. George is portrayed while riding a horse above a wide background, his lance piercing the dragon's head. On the right is a praying princess. A diagonal line connects the princess head, passing through the lance, to the twisted tail of the dragon. The canvases of St. George and St. Tryphon are elongated as if to emphasize the character of the epic story. St. George and the Dragon comes from the island of San Giorgio Maggiore while providing a vigorous image of the knight killing the monster, is also dense with references specific to the Benedictine monastery for which it was made.  Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Vittore Carpaccio Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Morabito, Pasquale Maria.
